A no-logs VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a VPN service that doesn’t record or keep your online activity data — it neither tracks nor stores your browsing history, data transfers, or other internet behavior.
To maintain your online privacy and security, ensuring your VPN has a no-logs policy in place is crucial.
A truly no-logs VPN provider ensures your online activity cannot be linked to you or revealed, so you can browse the web knowing your privacy is protected.
Real privacy means we can’t betray your data, because we don’t have it. A no-logs policy isn’t just a promise — it’s a technical guarantee that your activity remains yours alone.
VPN logs generally fall into two main categories:
Track your connection details and data usage:
Record your online activities:
Temporary connection records — such as your connection to the VPN server — might be necessary to provide a VPN service. Watch out for VPN providers that keep usage logs — collecting activity logs is unnecessary and goes against the whole point of using a VPN service. That’s why Surfshark keeps no usage logs

Since Surfshark VPN is based in the Netherlands, a country that does not require information storage or reporting, so we don’t have to keep logs of your surfing habits — and we absolutely don’t.
